Chapter 898: Chapter 924: Things Are Really Heating Up Now
Look, how much deterrence does a strong one at the Celestial Phase have?
The moment Feng Wuya and others showed up, before they even spoke, the other side let out a roar, and all of them ran away with their tails between their legs. Seven Circulation Phase strong ones fled in the blink of an eye, leaving not a single one behind.
It wasn’t just other people who were dumbfounded, even Feng Wuya and company were left in a daze, exchanging looks with each other as they revealed bitter smiles.

The despicable cat and the saucy chicken, walking with the step of one who recognizes no kin, came up to Yang Zhen. The uncanny voice just now naturally came from the despicable cat. Smiling he approached Yang Zhen, saying, “Kid, did you run here so fast just to scare these few Circulation Phase cultivators?”
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “Naturally, that’s not the case. With the situation as you see it now, do you know what’s going on?”
Feng Wuya and the others came up to Yang Zhen, exchanged glances and the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord, always impatient, immediately opened his mouth and said, “Kid, if we’re not mistaken, the Nether State continent is about to become lively.”
Yang Zhen gave the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord a look, how fresh, stirring up such a big commotion, it would be strange if it weren’t lively.
The question is, what the heck is this heaven and earth chasm?
Yang Zhen came up to Wan Quan and, patting the already dumbstruck Wan Quan, said, “Sect Leader Wan, what are you still doing here? Are you really waiting for me, the Sao Saint, to kill you?”
Wan Quan suddenly came to his senses, coughed violently, and with a bitter smile looked at Yang Zhen and said, “Kid, I’ve tried every trick in the book and thought I could be rampant on the Nether State continent. Although I was living at the mercy of others, with the great changes in the world, who can keep themselves safe? I never expected… never expected that your situation had already reached such a state. Are these seniors truly strong ones at the Celestial Phase?”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, “Is there any doubt? Oh right, those old coots just now, were they really from the recently emerged Great Quan Sacred Land?”
Wan Quan took a deep breath, nodded and said, “Yes, the Lord of the Great Quan Sacred Land is a Circulation Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer strong one who is said to be about to break through to the Celestial Phase. If not for this drastic change in the world, he would probably already be in seclusion for the breakthrough. Even though you have Celestial Phase strong ones by your side, do not underestimate the Great Quan Sacred Land. Those people… well, who can compare to you in holding grudges, kid?”
Yang Zhen grinned, patting Wan Quan’s shoulder and said, “Take care of yourself!”
With that, Yang Zhen truly no longer bothered with Wan Quan, but instead turned around and looked at Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, asking, “Did you miss me?”
Hua Youyue gave a graceful smile, while Han Yan’er rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Wan Quan suddenly burst into loud laughter, smacking his own head with a slap.
“Sect Leader!”
An exclamation came, and Wan Quan’s expression changed. When he turned his head to look at Duan Lang Wen and the others, his body shook violently, his face showing a reluctant expression.
Yue Yingying came up to Yang Zhen with a peculiar expression, hesitated for a moment, then slowly knelt down before Yang Zhen, saying, “Yang Zhen, spare people when you can spare them, I beg you to let the sect leader go.”
Yang Zhen looked at Yue Yingying with surprise, nimbly avoiding her kneel and asked curiously, “Give me a reason?”
Yue Yingying bit her lip, looked up at Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, and said with a firm voice, “If… if you let the sect leader go, I am willing to be a slave for life!”
“Yingying, you mustn’t!” Wan Quan’s expression changed and, seeing Yang Zhen’s teasing gaze, he said bitterly to Yue Yingying, “Child, why do you torment yourself?”
Yue Yingying beamed a radiant smile, respectfully kowtowing three times to Wan Quan and said, “I’m grateful to the sect leader for not abandoning me, saving me from the pile of dead, accepting me as a disciple, passing on the cultivation method, teaching me how to conduct myself, how… how can I just stand by and watch you die?”
Yang Zhen’s eyes widened all at once, looking at the aging Wan Quan with an odd expression and said, “I never imagined that you, this deceitful and cunning old man, still had a conscience.”
Wan Quan was taken aback and glared at Yang Zhen, saying, “Kid, people are not plants, who can be heartless; it’s just that our positions differ. In the world of survival of the fittest where we cultivate, where is the distinction between right and wrong, good and evil?”
Oh, my!
Yang Zhen really started to look at Wan Quan in a new light. How could someone with such insight be so lowly?
So it seemed Wan Quan did not have his conscience eaten by a dog; he was just senile.
Seeing the kneeling Yue Yingying, Yang Zhen snorted and said, “Suit yourself!”
Yue Yingying opened her mouth but remained silent, silently helping Wan Quan up and walking step by step toward the mountain exit.
When Duan Lang Wen turned to look at Yang Zhen, his eyes showed a resentful anger, but he was also someone who dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
In the past, Wan Quan might not be killed, but Duan Lang Wen would undoubtedly be dead.
Now, however, was different. Yang Zhen was presently focusing on figuring out what exactly this heaven and earth chasm was, and for someone like Duan Lang Wen, he couldn’t be bothered.
Never mind leaving a hidden danger; with Duan Lang Wen’s nature and comprehension, even if the imperial treasury was open for him to cultivate to his heart’s content, he would pose no danger to Yang Zhen.
At the Shangyuan Sect, the Great Elder Gou Shengtian had not yet recovered from the shock, staring dumbfounded at Feng Wuya and the others with a face full of excitement and amazement.
Feng Wuya, Five Wheel Heavenly Lord, Upper Crow Heavenly Lord, Jumping Dragon Elder had all arrived. These were the genuine strong ones at the Celestial Phase, just standing there quietly, seeming to be able to affect the surrounding aura of heaven and earth. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have scared off seven Circulation Phase strong ones as soon as they appeared.
“Great Elder? Great Elder?” Yang Zhen waved his hand in front of Gou Shengtian and said, “Does the Shangyuan Sect still have enough space to accommodate these people?”
Gou Shengtian’s face flashed with a bitter smile and said, “Yang Zhen, as you have seen, the Shangyuan Sect in recent times…”
Has been almost completely destroyed!
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down. In the past few days, if the Shangyuan Sect hadn’t been nibbled away by those cultivators with ulterior motives, it would be thanks only to Gou Shengtian’s relentless protection.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and said to the group led by Feng Wu Ya, “Senior fellows, as you’ve heard, we really are too poor, so why don’t you just make do and live in the trees?”
Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment, especially Gou Shengtian, who nearly rushed forward to cover Yang Zhen’s mouth.
Asking four Celestial Phase powerhouses to live in trees?
It seemed that only Yang Zhen could say something like that.
Gou Shengtian hurriedly said, “Please forgive him, seniors. This kid Yang Zhen has always been this shamelessly casual. I will immediately order people to build some accommodations overnight.”
With that, before Feng Wu Ya and the others could speak, Gou Shengtian kicked Yang Chen hard and said, “What are you spacing out for? Go and find people to build the houses.”
Yang Chen quickly scrambled to his feet, dragging Li Rusnow toward the back mountain, but it wasn’t long before they were surrounded by a group of practitioners who had gathered to watch the excitement.
What a joke, this was a chance to build houses for Celestial Phase powerhouses. It might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and even if they didn’t know how to construct houses, they had to get in first before anything else.
“Yang Chen, Yang Chen, do you remember me? I once gave you a crystal, yes, it was me, I know how to build houses, look…”
“Bullshit, don’t think we’re all fools. An alchemy apprentice like you, what do you know about building houses?”
“Pick me, pick me, I’m strong and can withstand hard labor.”
“Pick me, pick me, I… I don’t want any compensation!”
“Pah, what a shameless bastard you are, to be able to say such a shameless thing!”
…
The crowd scrambled and fought over each other, nearly tearing Yang Chen apart.
With a respectful face, Gou Shengtian led Feng Wu Ya and the others into the main hall of half of the Shangyuan Sect, served the finest tea available and then stood at the side, refusing to sit no matter what. It was only after Yang Zhen repeatedly urged him that he timidly sat down on a corner of a stool, like a young maiden reluctantly settling in.
Five Wheel Heavenly Lord continued the conversation that had been cut off earlier and asked, “Kid, have you noticed that the heaven and earth chasm this time wasn’t really about heaven and earth trying to erase something?”
Yang Zhen nodded his head. He had mentioned this to Gou Shengtian, having already made the discovery when he first arrived in Nether State Continent.
Seeing Yang Zhen nod, Five Wheel Heavenly Lord spoke solemnly, “Do you remember what I once told you, that the current world of cultivators is merely a part of the Great Desolation world?”
Yang Zhen felt a stir in his heart and exchanged glances with Gou Shengtian before turning to look at the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord and asked hesitantly, “Are you saying that…”
The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord took a deep breath, his face becoming grave.
Suddenly, Gou Shengtian cried out in alarm and stood up, about to rush out.
Everyone’s gaze subconsciously fell on Gou Shengtian. He stopped again and said bitterly, “I had forgotten, the Shangyuan Sect is now only half of what it was.”
With that said, Gou Shengtian looked at Yang Zhen and explained, “It’s been mentioned in the teachings of the Shangyuan Sect that the Nether State Continent is actually just a fragment of the mainland. The real Nether State Continent is vast and boundless, and is a match for the East Sea and Northern Domain, only slightly smaller than the Central Court.”
Yang Zhen’s eyes brightened, surprised as he asked, “How come I have never heard of this teaching?”
Gou Shengtian gave a wry smile and said, “Not just you, no one in the Shangyuan Sect, from top to bottom, believes in this teaching because it is… it is just…”
“It’s a bit far-fetched!” Yang Zhen curled his lip. Had someone told him this teaching a year ago, or even six months ago—even if Lu Chenghui himself had told him—he would have thought Lu Chenghui was out of his mind.
Now, it seemed this matter wasn’t without basis.
Yang Zhen and the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord exchanged glances. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Seniors, do you think this heaven and earth chasm could be Nether State Continent returning to its original form?”
Considering this possibility, Yang Zhen’s heart was completely shaken.
What on earth was going on with heaven and earth?
Feng Wu Ya shook his head and, under Yang Zhen’s hesitant gaze, suddenly said, “The world has changed greatly, and the laws have become perfected. The strength that heaven and earth can withstand grows stronger. If it were just a restoration of heaven and earth, it would be of little concern, but we suspect… there might be people inside the heaven and earth chasm!”
People inside?
Yang Zhen’s eyes nearly popped out, and he suddenly recalled detecting a faint life force within the heaven and earth chasm.
This was… quite significant.
The heaven and earth chasm had been sealed for tens of thousands of years, not due to a man-made refining into the void, but caused by the Heaven and Earth Power.
What terrifying existence had provoked the intolerance of heaven and earth to such an extent that an entire realm, along with the laws of heaven and earth, was cast into the void?
In this self-contained world over time, how monstrous had the people within become?
“Damn, things are really about to get lively!”
